Not Your Average Joe's Warwick

I was recently in the Warwick area and bookended my time there with meals at Not your Average Joe's. Aptly named, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting. The staff were great on both visits. They could answer questions, had tried many of the GF items and were patient when I kept asking if they were for sure that it was GF because it looked so much like regular food. Dietary restrictions: NYAJ's has a decent gluten free menu that includes an appetizer and dessert, along with salads, sandwiches, and dinners. Their GF bread is onion bread and they serve two small rolls of it in place of the bread they provide at every table (there is a fee for the swap but it's not too bad and just the opportunity to eat with others instead of watching them eat is not available everywhere). These rolls are served with a dip, which is oil based and filled with what tasted like garlic, Parmesan cheese, and crushed red pepper. I had the mustard crusted chicken BLT and it came on the same onion roll, but at a normal bun size. The sandwich was a great pairing of classic tastes mixed with boldness of flavor. I loved it. Gluten free doesn't have to be bland and they proved that here. I stayed the course with the mustard crusted chicken at the end of my trip but had it as a dinner instead of the sandwich. It came with two breasts and it was delicious! I do prefer the flavors of the BLT but that doesn't diminish the quality and experience of the dinner. It's impossible to go wrong!

Has gone downhill. Food is overpriced and doesn't taste good.

Love the food and the staff are always fun as well as attentive.

N.Y.A.J. has been a favorite for my wife and I for more than a decade. I don't think we have ever had a bad experience.

My wife and I tried NYAJ's last night for dinner. We were shopping at the mall and ended up there out of convenience. I didn't think it was going to be bad, but I also didn't think it would be as good as it was! We were happily greeted as soon as we entered the restaurant. The service was very good. Our waitress was sweet and very pleasant. I ordered the Korean Beef Bowl and my wife had the Caesar Salad with Grilled Salmon. Her salmon was cooked and seasoned perfectly, Many times at restaurants the Caesar dressing tastes like it cane out of a bottle. Not the case here. It was very good and not overpowering. I would highly recommend the Korean Beef Bowl. Our waitress talked me into that choice. She told me it was one of the more popular dishes there so I figured I'd give it a try. It was excellent. I will definitely be back there for that dish. We're really not a chain restaurant kind of folk, but this was a very pleasant experience. I can't speak to other dishes there (a lot of pizza was being served), but the two dishes we had were top notch.
